    Avondale Caravans NO LONGER!

    Hi Podge Sorry to hear of your troubles. I'd like to wish you and your family the best of luck for the future. It's awful being made redundant - been there, done that - but hopefully you'll get another job soon. Margaret

    Renault Scenic and Bailey Ranger

    Hi Everyone We did some more checking and detective work and spoke to Renault themselves who confirmed that the match wasn't suitable so after only having the scenic for five months we changed to a 56 reg 2.0 litre diesel Kia Sportage, and whilst it's great for towing I don't personally like...

    lidyl sky dish system

    Hi We bought the Aldi kit for our recent trip to france. Hubby tried it out a couple of times at home to get the hang of it and when we were away he got it set up in no time. Definately worth the money. Margaret

    Yellowcraig CC site, North Berwick - Best pitching Area?

    Hi We stayed at Yellowcraig in mid-April - me, hubby, two girls aged 8 and 4. We stayed on the hardstanding directly opposite the play area and next to the toilets and we never had any problems. We thought it was a good site and will not hesitate to go back. Margaret

    Berwick upon tweed

    Hi Mairi We've got friends who regularly go to Seaview CC site in Berwick and they say it's within walking distance of Berwick itself. We've visited them once whilst on site but never actually got into Berwick - ended up taking the kids to the beach instead. It looks a nice site and me, hubby...

    Towing with Kia Sportage

    Hi Thanks for this - i'll definately look at the michelin site. We've been to france before but this will be the first time towing. Though with the rising diesel costs I wonder whether it'll be too expensive. Anyway, thanks again. Margaret

    Towing with Kia Sportage

    Hi We have a Kia Sportage and use it to tow a Bailey Ranger 500/5. We are hoping to go to Normandy in June but are worried about diesel costs. Does anyone have a similar outfit? If so what mpg do you normally get when towing on a motorway? Thanks in advance for your help. Margaret

    Hot Water

    Hello Everyone Thanks for your replies. It's good to know that it is an option but i think in reality we'll probably use the showers on site. Margaret

    Hot Water

    Hello All We have a new Bailey Ranger 500/5 (first caravan) and wondered if anyone could tell us how much hot water we can expect at one time, ie would there be enough to have a shower? Thanks Margaret
